Naegele Perforator 25cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is intended for use in select obstetric procedures where controlled perforation of the fetal cranial vault is required to achieve decompression prior to extraction. It is used by experienced obstetricians and surgeons in operating room settings, birthing suites, and specialty centers for rare, clearly indicated destructive procedures when other options (e.g., cesarean delivery, fetotomy alternatives) are not appropriate. Use requires appropriate clinical judgment and adherence to institutional policy and consent procedures.

Design & Configuration

The elongated 25 cm shaft provides reach and controlled access within the birth canal while keeping the operator's hand clear of surrounding tissues. The dedicated perforating tip geometry concentrates force to achieve reliable cranial entry with minimal lateral displacement, supporting precise placement on the target anatomy. An ergonomic handle profile facilitates a secure manual grip and controlled application of force—attributes important for delicate, limited-field procedures.
